A few years ago disposable tampons and pads were the norm, but now in the diabolical year of 2020 more and more women are choosing to make the switch from disposables to reusables- cloth sanitary pads, menstrual cups and more. And it feels AWESOME! After all, in …
With us all washing our hands more than ever due to Coronavirus (a scary concept, when we should all have been washing them before hand… pun alert!) sales of antibacterial soaps have shot through the roof.
